The Ahırkapı district of Istanbul is
east of Sultanahmet,
down the hill through Cankurtaran,
right next to the Byzantine city
walls and the shore highway (Kennedy
Caddesi).
If you're looking for a small apartment, Efendi
Apartments is in this neighborhood. More...

It's a 10- or 15-minute walk uphill
from Ahırkapı (ah-HURR-kah-puh)
to the Hippodrome through
Cankurtaran or
along the Topkapı
Palace walls, but
a short taxi ride
around Seraglio Point to Sirkeci
Station,
Eminönü and Galata
Bridge. (Unfortunately,
you probably won't be able to get a
taxi to
drive you up the hill to Sultanahmet—too
low a fare.

Though a bit farther from Istanbul's
most famous sights, Ahırkapı has
its virtues:
—There are several good
hotels here, some even with
views of the Bosphorus, Sea
of Marmara and Princes
Islands from their guest rooms
—You can easily walk to the Cankurtaran
suburban train station to
go to Sirkeci
Station, Kumkapı
and its seafood restaurants, the Yenikapı
fast ferry terminal, or even
to Atatürk
Airport (with a short taxi ride
at the airport end. More...)
